An analytical expression for R50% dependent on PTV surface area and volume: a lung SBRT comparison.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), R50% is a common metric for intermediate dose spill and is defined in RTOG 0915 as the ratio of 50% isodose cloud volume (IDC50%) to the planning target volume (PTV). By coupling sound physical principles with the basic definition of intermediate dose spill, we derive an exact analytical expression for R50% for the case of a spherical volume. This expression for R50% depends on three quantities: the surface area of PTV (SA
